New home, new horses

I'm still alive :) Which is a good thing I guess...

Well there's lot to tell I suppose.
Firstly Hailey and I had a huge talk and now Cupid has a new owner. They are doing extremely well. Cupid is still living with us though. So no stress with stable change. Risotto was also sold. He lives in Austria now :) Heard he had won his first competition with his new rider. 120cm in junior class. I'm glad for him!
Don is resting. I have no idea how he managed to hurt his left hind leg. He was in a vet center for a week before they let him home. He'll be ready to start small rides next week. I think some lunging might b good for him.

The biggest part is the new home! We actually didn't move. Me and my husband just decided that our stable area needs some renovation...and now we have 8 boxes...and the are so huge. If you think it's too big for only 2 horses (because my sister's horse is still living with her) then you are right.
I managed to persuade my darling husband and I now have 4 horses (I don't count Cupid anymore).

First two are 3,5 year olds. Yarabond and Teperance. Both are holsteins and with good personality. I'm not sure if I should geld Yara but it's somthing I have to think soon. I have started training them and we'll see what's going to happen.
Third one is 8 year old mare. Let Me Remember is a KWPN. Not good for sport and that's why she was sold. She can't jump because of a leg injury. My idea is to get a foal out of her. I have been looking for a good stallion but I really need to find someone with an excellent personality.
Meantime I have had some rides with Remi and she is super! Her leg is only affecting her jumping (had a vet check it before you yell at me!) but she is perfect for dressage exercises. She has managed to learn flying change so far and we are moving to to some half passes correctly.

Wish us luck!
